Hi dear Foamers
I am trying to run an 2 phase flow in Version 2.4 since methods are changed from 2.3 for interFoam.
and I have problems with that.
1. my first problem is should I Split both outlet and inlet in to 2 face,(water and air separately)?
I caught the free surface (alpha.water) correctly but for Velocity I just Need the water velocity but air have non zero velocity too.
there is my U and alpha.water
any ideas?
thanks
the first 2 codes have 2 inlets

whats wrong?
the air has a motion becuase there is shear stress between phases.
